Counseling
Need Help?
The mission of our Counseling Ministry is to glorify God and help others remove barriers that prevent a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.
Scottsdale Bible provides Lay Counseling, Marriage Counseling, Stephen Ministry, outside professional referrals, and a variety of support groups. This outreach of God’s love is for any individual who is hurting, both in the congregation and in our community.
Scottsdale Bible Counseling Ministry provides care to our church family and community in times of need. We are a confidential, no-fee facility. We do not consider our Counseling Ministry to be a crisis center, but rather, a short-term biblical counseling ministry.
If you have any questions regarding our services, please call the Counseling Ministry at 480.824.7239, or email counseling@scottsdalebible.com, Monday through Thursday.

Stephen Ministry
Need One-on-One Prayer and Encouragement?
Stephen Ministers are a team of lay people who will come alongside you during a life crisis. They provide one-on-one, Christ-centered care to people in need. They will walk with you through grief, divorce, a spiritual crisis or other life difficulties.
Stephen Ministers have been trained to support and encourage anyone who needs comfort and care – for as long as needed. You can be assured that your identity, the caring relationship and the conversations you have with your Stephen Minister will remain confidential.
Lay Counseling
What is Lay Counseling and how does it work?
The Scottsdale Bible Lay Counseling Program equips volunteers to provide distinctively Christian counseling at a lay level. Lay Counselors, using basic counseling skills such as active listening, empathic responding and questioning skills, meet with their assigned counselee on a weekly basis for 10 weeks at the Scottsdale Bible Counseling Office.
Support Groups
Find Hope and Healing through Our Support Groups
Our support groups offer a safe and welcoming environment to connect with others facing similar struggles. Whether you're dealing with grief, addiction, anxiety, or seeking spiritual growth, our compassionate leaders and community members are here to provide encouragement and guidance.
Youth Counseling Services
Teens face unique challenges in today’s culture, and SBC offers a safe, welcoming place for them to openly discuss their concerns. A trained, compassionate adult will listen, assess their needs, and offer biblical support and care. Our YTH Counseling Center offers no-fee services to teens in our church and community, however, diagnosis and substance abuse care is outside the scope of this ministry. Whether they're facing stress, relationship issues, or seeking direction, our goal is to help teens find strength and encouragement through Christ-centered care.
Email ythcounseling@scottsdalebible.com to receive youth intake form and further info.
